Barry Lewis, born in Washington, Pennsylvania, with this second book as a children's author has his greatest inspiration coming from his two sons and grandchildren. Growing up, children's books were an important part of spending quality time with his boys, and creating special gifts to be handed down with quality story telling. He has been sitting on the floor of bookstores for more than 40 years, perusing picture books for his boys, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and even children of his coworkers. Years of curiosity, laughter, love of animals and boundless imagination motivated him to create Bella Boo, a story that celebrates playfulness and wonder. Writing these books has been a heartfelt journey, and Barry hopes it sparks joy for families and encourages children to see the magic in everyday life. He looks forward to exploring more storytelling in the future, continuing to draw on the love and experiences he shares with family and friends.
